600 Ilke Homes staff join legal action over job losses
Over 600 former workers at collapsed Flaxby housebuilder Ilke Homes are taking joint legal action over job losses.
More than 1,000 people were made redundant when the firm, which was situated close to junction 47 of the A1, entered administration in July.
Manchester law firm Aticus Law said yesterday it was now acting on behalf of more than 600 ex-employees over the way the redundancy process was managed.
